The Miracle of Regathering

The Jewish prophet Ezekiel wrote of the future return of his people to their ancestral homeland 2500 years ago. It is a true miracle that the Jewish people who have suffered exile, persecution, forced assimilation and near annihilation have not only survived, but regathered into their eternal homeland. This blog is intended to stir hearts and minds to contemplate the importance of this modern miracle and to generate dialogue about current cultural, geopolitical and spiritual issues that impact us ALL.

The Middle East Problem in a Nutshell

I have been a fan of Dennis Prager for a long time.  I have rarely met a person who has the combined virtues of being very Jewish, very spiritual and VERY CONSERVATIVE!!!!  Although I don't always agree with Dennis' positions, he has a superb way of simplifying some very multifaceted topics.  In this particular presentation, he succinctly and eloquently describes the seemingly complex Arab-Israeli conflict with great aplomb.  Of course, we must add to his treatise the layer of hatred between the children of Ishmael and Esau towards those of Isaac and Jacob that has persisted for millennia as icing on his simple recipe.  Nevertheless, it is a good deconstruction of the long-standing conflict.  Enjoy!
